Cosmetic Company Archives
The Visual Arts Data Service (VADS) and the London College of Fashion have collaborated to digitise the photographic archives of Gala, Miner's and Crystal. These were cosmetic companies operating during and after the Second World War. If you are researching the history of cosmetics, or just interested in seeing the collection you can access the collection at http://www.vads.ac.uk/collections/LCFGALA. Remember to read the 'terms of use' at the bottom of the collection homepage.
